BRUNO METURA: Double Vision
July 9th through July 30th, 2023
Closing Reception Sunday, July 30th, 2023 3 - 6 PM
DOUBLE VISION
Double Vision features Guadeloupean artist Bruno Metura. The artist’s second exhibition at New Door Creative highlights a collection of works created between 2020 and 2022; and showcases drawings on paper from the “Hint of Illusions” series, larger scale paintings from the “Recto-Verso” series, and mixed media on paper selections from the 2020 “Confinement” series.
Inspired by his observation of nature, Metura contemplates humanity and cosmogony in a quest to expose our human connection to the universe. He encourages views from various orientations to uncover a multiplicity of meaning through visual connotation.
Exploring themes that consistently reference the elements of the natural world, the collection transports the viewer into Metura’s visual galaxy. The artist’s “Recto-Verso” series expresses the duality of “…the illusion of multiple horizons.”
.
Born in France to Caribbean parents, Metura’s international engagement includes participation in cultural exchanges with the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (D.V.C.A.I.) in Guadeloupe and Panama, the Prize of the General Council, the DRAC GUADELOUPE in Paris, France, and the Third Havana Biennial. His work has been exhibited in France, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Guyana and Atlantic World Art Fair. Recent exhibitions in the United States include Metura’s “Hint of Illusions” which was featured in “Depth of Identity: Art as Memory and Archive.” in Miami, Florida in 2022.
